Many netizens will regard hybrid vehicles as new energy vehicles, after all, it is indeed a kind of new energy in foreign countries, such as Toyota Corolla double engine is a good example, this car is obviously not a new energy model in China, in fact, the country has a division of new energy and hybrid, how in the end?
Is hybrid oil and electric new energy vehicle?
Let’s take a look.
New energy vehicle refers to the use of unconventional vehicle fuel as the power source (or the use of conventional vehicle fuel, the use of new on-board power device), integrated vehicle power control and drive advanced technology, the formation of advanced technical principles, with new technology, new structure of the vehicle.
New energy vehicles include four types of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), pure electric vehicles (BEVs, including solar vehicles), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), and other new energy vehicles (such as supercapacitors, flywheels and other high efficiency energy accumulators).
Unconventional vehicle fuels refer to fuels other than gasoline, diesel, natural gas (NG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), ethanol-based gasoline (EG), methanol and dimethyl ether.
With the more and more stringent environmental protection measures in the world, hybrid electric vehicle has become a key point of automotive research and development due to its energy-saving, low emission and other characteristics, and has begun to be commercialized.
The electric power system used in hybrid vehicles includes highly reinforced electric motors, generators and batteries.
Lead-acid batteries, nickel-manganese hydrogen batteries and lithium batteries are used for storage batteries, and hydrogen fuel cells should be used in the future.
The commonly referred to as hybrid electric vehicle, generally refers to the petrol-electric hybrid electric vehicle, that is, the use of traditional internal combustion engine (diesel or gasoline engine) and electric motor as power source, some engines are modified to use other alternative fuels, such as compressed natural gas, propane and ethanol fuel.
However, many netizens have a misunderstanding about hybrid vehicles, that is, they think hybrid vehicles are also new energy vehicles. After all, hybrid vehicles in foreign countries are also new energy, and there are also many models in China are also new energy, such as BYD Tang, Song, Qin and other models with small green plates are good examples.
